She won't be speaker, even if she keeps her seat. On the simple side, you don't give the Speakership to a freshmen representative. On the more complex side, the Speakership is strategic. The Rep who gets the speakership is the one who can get legislation passed to push the agenda and goals of the party . . . all without backlash and blowback. Omar doesn't have the ability to do that, and if she were to someone muscle into the Speakership, the Dems would be wiped out in the House 2 years later.

She is a useful idiot/tool to the central Dem party. Nothing more. As soon as she becomes "inconvenient" she'll get the Al Franken treatment.

The dems have a problem though where they have too many tools and not enough party faithful. They are loosing control of the ship.

I go back and forth on whether they've lost control or are just good at distrction tactics by letting these "lightning rods" be up front.

Saying "agenda of the party" gives me 1984 vibes.

Vote for my thing or I'll send 5 muhammads to ream your wife. And daughter. And son. And your dog. And you. The muhamaads REALLY like rape. -Ilhan Omar (That's not even her real name.)

Should have banned Islam 5 minutes after 9/11 like I suggested 5 minutes after 9/11.

Good question, she can't be. Then..they did change the rules so she could wear a turban on the floor.

I don't believe AOC and Omar would have a voice if we didn't let them get under our skin. They are a great distraction and bad press is good press for them.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I couldn't imagine a better scenario for us if she became the house speaker.

I'm gonna go with any Republican, no matter how uniparty, would be more favorable than any Democrat. At least it forces them to pretend to want to work with the President instead of rewarding defiance.

True, I just look at it as, if she becomes the face of that party, then they're even more fucked than they are now. As stupid as liberals are, I don't think they can make Sharia Law a winning platform.

But, I guess if she were to become House Speaker in the future, that means the Dems would have won the majority... so, I guess Rush has a point.

Nope. Just tree-watering time.
